Dunsden Green: questions and answers
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Royal Berkshire Hospital, something you do?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Is Dunsden Green too far out for you?
Not at all. Dunsden Green is within our area. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Do you use semi-rigid filler or flexible sealant on floor joints?
There isn’t one answer for a whole floor. Where hard wheels cross, a semi-rigid filler is usually right, and movement joints or perimeters need something flexible. You’ll see the choice for each area in the quote.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
How long does a typical visit take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.
Do you guarantee industrial floor joints?
A 12-month guarantee covers the work we do. It applies to our workmanship rather than structural movement or accidental damage.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance.
Floor joint sealing for commercial buildings in Dunsden Green
We diagnose the floor first rather than guessing at a product: how wide the joints are, signs of ongoing movement, the wheel types crossing them and the state of the arrises. From that we choose between a semi-rigid filler and a more flexible sealant and the answer can differ from one zone to the next. If you have saw-cut joints left open and packed with grit and chipped and spalling edges along forklift routes, we can help, whatever the surface. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Dunsden Green is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Halls, schools and small commercial buildings near places like Dunsden Green have movement joints in brick, block and concrete too. They’re easily forgotten until water gets in or an edge breaks.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

Advice
Cost factors for floor joints
These are the things that shape the price:
- The size and state of each joint
- Access and working height
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Whether the work must be split into stages
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
What to include in your enquiry
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Tell us:
- Your programme or deadline
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- The type of building and who uses it
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. To take the first step, call 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
Maintenance after handover
After handover, these steps help:
- Mention any aggressive cleaning regime at quote stage
- Expect fillers on young slabs to need a top-up
- Keep trucks off new joints until we say they’re ready
- Keep grit out of unfilled joints in the meantime
Keep traffic off fresh joints until the time we give you and it pays to stick to it. Cones or barriers stop the first driver cutting the corner.
Edges tend to break slowly at first, then quickly. Each chip makes the drop deeper and the next impact harder so early treatment saves a lot of trouble.
When to bring in a specialist
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Certain joints really need a specialist: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
For managing agents and facilities managers
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in Dunsden Green can sit alongside others in a wider programme.
